1961 Château Gruaud LaroseSt. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend more |
5/14/2024 - johnh1001 wrote: 93 pointsLower fill with signs of seepage and a crusty capsule. The nose was muddled but the palate was lovely with mature dark fruit, earth, coffee, touch of iodine. Nice sweetness. Rich and round. Started to fade after 2 hours. This was great and I imagine there are many even better examples out there. |
